Answer:

520 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building, h can be obtuined using trigonometry ;

From the attached diagram, opposite side = 300 feets ; height, h = adjacent side

Hence,

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 30° = 300 / height

0.5773502 = 300 / height

Height = 300 / 0.5773502

Height = 519.615

Height = 520 feets

A car travels down a highway at 25 m/s. An observer stands 150 m from the highway.
makvit [3.9K]
Let x be the distance (in feet) along the road that the car has traveled and h be the distance (in feet) between the car and the observer.

(a) Before the car passes the observer, we have dh/dt < 0; after it passes, we have dh/dt > 0. So at the instant it passes the observer we have dh/dt = 0, given that dh/dt varies continuously since the car travels at a constant velocity.
